I heard from teacher Ben that 3 satilites will going to find where I am when I got lost. We used G.P.S. to find the location.

.We walked to Pigeon mountain for about fifteen minutes. It was really hard and exhausted . I hate exercising but I felt I'm getting healthier.

The groups were mixed boys and girls and different cities mixed too. I was the same team with

I liked all my members. They were kind and nice. We actually coorperated a lot. I was in Blue team, 4th group.

It was very hard to use external image g.gifexternal image p.gifexternal image s.gif .So Alex was holding it all day long. But I learned how to use it from Ben. It was kind of easy though. The thing I need to do was only press the menu button 4 times and select the number of treasure to find. when you select number (001~010)

It told me where is the treasure is. It showed how far it is and the where to go. The reason I'm not good at mechanics, Even though I understand how to do it, I couldn't do anything. But I was lucky that there were Alex in my team.

Anyway we've found 5 containers. I was very proud of myself.

When we were doing geochacing, it rained a lot. I extremely got external image w.gifexternal image e.gifexternal image t.gif. I was too cold. Sadly, in that day (July 27th) I even didn't wore my jacket.

The one with number 3 was the most difficult to find. The container was made of magnet and it was sticked on the lamp house. I even couldn't touch it. But thankfully, Mr, Stevenson thought us and we got it.

I'm not sure what the orientation is, but I think it is the program we did before the geocasing. Teacher Ben taught the warnings. For exemple like do not go over with the fence. All the sentences that he said was important. But the reason it was too long, I couldn't concentreare correctly.

Oh~ I have something missed to say : there were no teacher with us. I saw many groups went with their group teacher but nobody was with us. How sad it is. So we walked very much because we couldn't find the right way to go.

geocasing was external image f.gifexternal image a.gifexternal image n.gifexternal image t.gifexternal image a.gifexternal image s.gifexternal image t.gifexternal image i.gifexternal image c.gif. It was my first time doing this with GPS system. It was absolutely cool and awesome.

But there something must be fixed. We did our external image g.gifexternal image e.gifexternal image o.gifexternal image c.gifexternal image a.gifexternal image c.gifexternal image h.gifexternal image i.gifexternal image n.gifexternal image g.gif on the mountain. It was both hard job to go up and down. So I hope that the next time's place would be a field (plain). Then, it will not be that much hard. Also, the game will be fun more, if we do it in the school with many classrooms.

Anyway it was a fantastic experience.

But sadly, we got extremely tried after we finished our game.
